5 bed detached house for sale

Cokes Lane, Chalfont St. Giles HP8

Dating in part from 1929, Red Lodge has been significantly enlarged and thoughtfully improved, now offering generous family accommodation extending to over 3,000 sq ft. Nestled well back within a mature half-acre plot, the property is cleverly angled to allow the principal rooms to benefit from a delightful south-facing aspect, flooding the interiors with natural light.

The spacious layout features generously proportioned rooms, beginning with a welcoming reception hall adorned with elegant parquet flooring. This leads seamlessly to a study, a playroom, and a superb double-aspect formal living room, complete with a striking marble fireplace as a focal point.

At the heart of the home, the double-aspect open-plan kitchen/dining/family room has been recently reconfigured to create an exceptional informal family space. The remodelled kitchen boasts a comprehensive range of wall, base, and larder units, integrated appliances, and a stylish central island. Modern Crittall-style windows and a roof light enhance the room’s light and airy feel, while matching double doors open directly onto the gardens. A redesigned utility room is conveniently accessed from the kitchen.

Upstairs, there are five generously sized double bedrooms, four of which enjoy south-facing views over the garden. These are served by three well-appointed bathrooms, including two en-suite facilities to the principal and guest bedrooms.

The beautifully maintained gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by well-stocked flower beds, and feature a large terrace-ideal for outdoor entertaining. Additionally, the grounds include raised vegetable beds and a charming potting shed.
